Once the domain of bioinformatics experts, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data analysis is now more accessible than ever. Illumina offers push-button RNA-Seq software tools packaged in an intuitive user interface designed for biologists.
These user-friendly tools support a broad range of next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies, from gene expression analysis to total RNA expression profiling and more.
RNA-Seq data can be instantly and securely transferred, stored, and analyzed in BaseSpace Sequence Hub, the Illumina genomics computing platform. BaseSpace Sequence Hub includes an expert-preferred suite of RNA-Seq software tools that were developed or optimized by Illumina. Our BaseSpace RNA-Seq Apps are:
Demystifying RNA sequencing data analysis with answers to common questions and concerns.
Based on frequently cited RNA-Seq analysis pipelines, these apps support a broad range of transcriptome data analysis needs. Featured apps for common RNA-Seq methods are shown in the table below.
BRC-Seq uses BaseSpace Sequence Hub to analyze and share data (primarily mRNA-Seq data), and track samples.

After data analysis, results can be transferred easily to BaseSpace Correlation Engine for functional annotation, to understand the biological effects of gene expression changes. BaseSpace Correlation Engine contains data sets from thousands of public studies that inform biological interpretation. Connect differential gene expression data from RNA-Seq experiments with disease associations, or visualize correlated genes and microRNA targets.
